Toilet Paper: Issue 6

Published by Le Dictateur PressEdited by Maurizio Cattelan, Pierpaolo Ferrari.

Toilet Paper is an artistsí magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artistsí mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toilet Paper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Electronic Arts

Franz Konig

"With incredible effort the two have invented an extremely powerful visual world...The result is often, well, eerie; they mirror images that we're constantly confronted with, but in a way that's more surreal than familiar."
